Details

How is evidence assessed in EU competition enforcement? This is the question that this important new book answers by offering the first systematic and comprehensive study on the topic.

The aim of the book is twofold. Firstly, it sets down the foundations for a system of evidence in EU competition law enforcement by producing a typology of rules and principles to govern its evaluation. Secondly, it analyses the role of the applicable evidence standards.

In so doing it illustrates how both the rules of evidence and enforcement have been underestimated. Rigorous, analytical and engaging, this is a much needed examination of this key question in competition law proceedings.
